Take a look behind the filming of The Proposal with Sandra Bullock. It involves a town makeover!
The story of the movie The Proposal with Sandra Bullock takes place in Sitka, Alaska.
But as we know The Filming of The Proposal was all done in the quaint coastal town of Rockport, MA.
Sandra Bullock plays a Canadian publishing executive working in America, who is about to get deported.
She forces her assistant, played by Ryan Reynolds, to marry her, so she can stay in the US. That's when they fly to Alaska to visit his family to break the news. Here, filming on Rockport's Main Street.
And along Bearskin Neck, one of the main attractions in Rockport with little studios, shops, and restaurants that line its narrow roads.
This time of the year the town's buzzing with visitors. Many of the shops had new signs on them while filming was taking place. Mark Kanegis photography gallery for example was transformed into the Sitka Internet Café, and James Russell Goldsmiths became Alaska Outfitters.
It's only a few houses down from where they put up the Sitka, Alaska banner.
Rockport's trade mark, the dark red shack.
The shack was dressed with two signs, see Wicked Local.
Totem poles were installed in Dock Square, as well as a Welcome to Sitka sign.
And the front of the Old Firehouse Trust building was converted into the Paxton Burger & Brew -Paxton being the name of Ryan Reynolds' character. Via Gloucester Times.
The location of The House in The Proposal looks like a remote Alaskan island, accessible by boat only, but it's Gary and Diane Kaneb's home on 5 Gales Point Road in Manchester by the Sea, MA.
The home is an early-20th-century cedar shingle and natural stone house with 9 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and most importantly a dock.
Yes, the Kaneb's turned their house over to Touchstone and Disney Studios for filming The Proposal during about two months in the spring of 2008.
Would you turn your home over the a movie crew?
Have Sandra Bullock run around your yard?
And a living room full with people you don't know? It could be fun and lucrative too. The Kaneb's declined to discuss the amount their coastal home earned while starring in the movie The Proposal, but the fees can range from $1,500 to $3,500 a day.
